We loved that we saw all the big glaciers. We got plenty of time at each glacier. The views from the boat was amazing. A bit much people and it was difficult to here the information from the speaker.

Whewww, this was one for the books. Did the Glaciares Gourmet trip with my girlfriend and I STILL can’t stop talking about it. The boat is super comfy (not one of those old creaky ones), and we actually sat up top for most of it just gawking at the blue ice. The staff were mega friendly, like, remembering names and everything. Got to walk around at Bahia Las Vacas, which was a nice leg stretch, plus our guide told us some fun facts about the local birds (did you know some of them migrate all the way from Canada?! wild). Food was better than I expected, and the whisky with glacier ice—yeah, it really hits different. Only thing, it got a bit crowded near Perito Moreno, but worth it for the view. Def bring a windbreaker, the chill is no joke.

I went solo on the Glaciares Gourmet thing and honestly, it blew my mind. The boat is suuuper comfy (seriously, like a floating lounge lol). I spent half the ride just staring out the window and snapping a million pics. The crew was really chill and explained a bunch of stuff about the glaciers, which helped cuz I didn’t know much tbh. Lunch was fancy—tiny portions but tasted EPIC. My fave was the stop at that Puesto Las Vacas place, felt like walking in a snow globe. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

Went with my partner and honestly, the whole day felt like we were in a NatGeo documentary. The boat is super comfy (even the seats are squishy) and the windows are gigantic, so you never miss a glacier popping out of nowhere. Staff kept bringing us snacks (try the local cheese if they offer it!). Perito Moreno was the highlight for me—could stare at that blue ice all day. We did feel a bit rushed at the last stop, but, hey, still worth every peso. Bring layers! It got chilly fast.
